What is the equation for photosynthesis?
A
Water + Carbon dioxide + Energy
B
Carbon dioxide + Glucose
C
Oxygen + Carbon dioxide + Energy
D
Glucose + Oxygen
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The process of photosynthesis is commonly written as: 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2. This means that the reactants, six carbon dioxide molecules and six water molecules, are converted by light energy captured by chlorophyll (implied by the arrow) into a sugar molecule and six oxygen molecules, the products.

Detailed explanation-2: -The balanced version is: 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2.) In simple terms: carbon dioxide + water → glucose + oxygen. This is photosynthesis, and without it, there likely would be no plants or animals.

Detailed explanation-3: -Carbon dioxide + Water → Glucose + Oxygen + Water.

Detailed explanation-4: -Carbon dioxide + Water → Glucose + oxygen.
